The death of a 54-year-old woman at a flat in Aberdeen is now being treated as murder.
Margaret Robertson, known as Meg was found dead following a 'violent attack' at her flat in Promenade Court.
Her body was discovered by officers at around 1.20pm on Friday afternoon.
Cops have confirmed they are now treating her death as a murder and have urged members of the public to help with the investigation.
Local Area Commander Chief Inspector David Howieson said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Margaret Robertson at this tragic time.
“I understand that a violent crime of this nature may cause concern to the local community, however I would like to reassure them that extensive inquiries are being carried out by a large number of local, national and specialist officers.
“We will also have an increased visible Police presence in the area for the foreseeable future."
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, added: “We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Margaret's violent death.
“I am particularly anxious to speak with anyone who has any knowledge of Margaret's movements between 9.00 am on Tuesday, 24 September 2019 and when she was found within her home address at 1.20pm on Friday.
“Given the nature of the attack the person or people responsible may have blood staining on their clothing. If you have any information about who was responsible for attacking Margaret, please get in touch with Police Scotland as a matter of urgency."
A 27-year-old man was arrested following Margaret's death and is being held in custody. But police enquires are continuing.
